Hole Hearted is not really that hard to play. The only tricky part is the following that I've given below. The rest, I'm sure you've figured or can figure out easily enough. This is a positively funky sound. Play it on the twelve string like Nuno and you get that full sound. ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------2---5^6----7--5^6----7--5----- --5^7--7-7-7-5^0--------------2---5---7--7--5---7--7--5--5-- --0------0-0-----3(+bend1/4)--0-------0---------0----------- ------------------------------------------------------------ Life's ambitions occupy my time Happiness one step be - hind ------------------------------2------------------------------------- ------------------------------3--------------------------------x-0-- ------------------------------2---------0----------------------x-0-- --5^7--7-7-7-5^0-------------------0^2---------0---------------x-0-- --0------0-0-----3(+bend1/4)---------------3^5----2^3-2^0---0------- ----------------------------------------------------------3--------- Priorities come to the mind This inner piece I've yet to find The words are something like this: Life's ambitions occupy my time Priorities come to the mind Happiness one step behind This inner peace I've yet to find Rivers flow into the sea But even the sea's not so full of me If I'm not blind why can't I see That circle can't fit where a square should be There's a hole in my heart that can only be filled by you And this hole in my heart can't be filled with the things I do Hole hearted Hole hearted This heart of stone is where I hide These feet of clay kept warm inside Day by day less satisfied Not fade away before I die Rivers flow.... There's a hole in my heart that can only be filled by you Should have known from the start I'd fall short with the things I do Hole hearted HOLE HEARTED - Extreme (From 'Pornograffiti', 1990) Written by Nuno Bettencourt and Gary Cherone. Performed by Extreme. Tab by Edwin ([email protected]) and Anand 'Indy' Kumar ([email protected]) Here's the complete song (without the overdubs). The hard part was done by Edwin ([email protected]), to whom I send my special thanks. Wouldn't have tried this one without his encouraging words: 'Hole Hearted is not really that hard to play.' Didn't include the lyrics with all this copyright stuff going on.

If you're having a hard time too, I hope it serves you.

Not 100% sure of the voicings, but Nuno plays 12 string and I can only afford 6, so everything he plays sounds so rich to me, that I tried to play the maximum amount of strings possible. (How do you call chords like 'E7(+sus4)' properly ???)
